Winn-Dixie Stores Inc.

The Jacksonville grocery chain's stock rebounded by 19 percent to close at $22.17 a share, up $3.55, after the company's first-quarter profit margin performance far exceeded analyst forecasts. Sales in stores open more than a year inched up a meager 0.2 percent, the number of transactions were down and the company lost $790,000, or 1 cent a share, in the quarter ended Sept. 19. But analysts had been expected a loss of 23 cents a share.
